Question

The owner of a small store buys coats for ​$45. 00 each. Answer parts a and b. A. He sells the coats for ​$63. 00 each. What percent of the purchase price is the sale​ price? The sale price is nothing​% of the purchase price

Answer 1

Answer: 140%

Explanation:

To find the percent of the purchase price by the sales price, we will divide the sales price by the purchase price, and then multiply by 100 to get a percent from our original decimal.

`\displaystyle (\$63)/(\$45) =1.4\;\;\;\;\;1.4*100=140\%`

This gives us an answer of 140%.

In other words, we found what percentage 63 was of 45 (which is 140%).
